All,I have 2 DC's that i have setup at home and noticed that when i am searching for users (right click on the domain and select find)i am able to search for users by first name, last name or letters that match any part of the user name. However, when i am say creating a security group and going to add membes and search by last name the object is not found? I can add the same user if i search by the first name?What could be causing this? The DC's re 2003 Enterprise, not sure what other info might be helpful for suggestions.

Hello,never sawthis before. A typo is not possible? Did you check replication between the DCs with repadmin /showrepl?Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

No major replication issues to report, i am completly stumped any help would be appreciated.

Hello, Based on the research, I can confirm that the issue can be reproduced on my side. Currently, we can search a Name with the criterion "Starts with" and "Is exactly"after we add members of a security group. Starts with: means that we can search the security descriptor in Active Directory by mapping the first several characters we input Is exactly: means that we can search the security descriptor in Active Directory by mapping exactly all the characters we input It seems that we cannot search any part of the name in the search box under this kind of scenario. Currently, as a workaround we can search users by their last name in the domain level.Meanwhile, I will forward this issue to our corresponding product team, if there is any update, I will let you know that. Thanks for the understanding.This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
